6. Remarks
(1) Need to develop "Asian Internet History
(Museum)" collectively. Who/which
organization to coordinate? (2) Need involvement
of specialists in media, history, museum
and more as well as technology. (3) The internet
history could be prescriptive as well
as descriptive. (4) Early archiving of artifacts
is very important, but difficult.
